HI Keith,

Thanks for the email and for taking the time to investigate this stuff.

 From the Amazon announcement, if you click the link for the WSDL, you 
can see that it has a date of 2011-08-01. If I understand Amazon 
correctly, then then API version used should be on or after 2011-08-01. 
If you look in the amazon2tellico.xsl file, then the date at the top 
should be 2011-08-01 for the most recent Tellico release. You can check 
which file Tellico is using with

kde4-config --path data --locate tellico/amazon2tellico.xsl

So that seems to be ok.

You're right, there seem to be many people having an issue with getting 
Amazon results. It's confusing to me since I have unit tests that I 
check frequently and I haven't had any problem with searches from any of 
the Amazon sites, so far. So I gotta figure out why there's a disconnect.
